It isn't insanity if you used other cryptos to buy big on Kik/Kin and they only way to protect your position is to not have it go away.

Well it’s throwing good money after bad.

I believe it was Einstein who defined insanity as performing the same task over and over and expecting different results.

If you invested/bought Kik because you wanted a “position” to make money on it, then it fits the definition of a security, so by throwing more money to fight the SEC to claim it’s not a security is a losing battle by your own “position”.

The real irony is that the Kik token probably was structured as a non-security utility token, it’s only the CEO statements/marketing of the token as something that will become extremely valueable to investors that will come back and haunt them.

Not Einstein. It's a quote from a 1981 Narcotics Anonymous pamphlet.
